Disable Redirects

I noticed that "Disable Redirects" is on your To-Do list for the next release. I'm very much looking forward to this new feature!

Just a quick question: Will this feature completely disable redirects, or will it be implemented similar to the way Opera handles redirects when automatic redirecting is disabled? In this case, Opera generates a simple HTML page with a link to the redirect's target URI, so that the user can decide whether to follow the redirect or ignore it.

It will just completely disable redirects.

Re: Disable Redirects

Oh, that's a bit disappointing. I was hoping you'd implement it the way Opera does.

I think the feature would be more useful if it made redirects 'visible' instead of just blocking them. That way, one could use it for testing sites that make heavy use of HTTP redirecting. For example, such a feature would be useful when trying to find out if consecutive redirects are fired in the correct order, for ensuring that no unnecessary redirecting occurs, etc.

Maybe you could add something like "Display Redirects" in addition to the already planned "Disable Redirects" feature?

Re: Disable Redirects

I'll look into it, but obviously the disable feature is simpler so that will be the initial feature.

Not only easier, but it doesn't play with the site formatting....

I'd also be very happy if you'd implement it like Opera. Being able to see the variables and stuff is swell, and being able to click to continue would be very nice as well
